Fresh Food Storage

Cantilever Shelf
Tall Bottle Retainer
Humidity Control
Chilled Air Control
Shelf Adjustment
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjustable to suit individual needs. Before adjusting
shelves, remove all food. The shipping clips which stabilize the shelves for shipping
may be removed and discarded.
To adjust cantilever shelves (shelves supported at the rear of the refrigerator), lift the
back of the shelf up and out. Replace shelf by inserting hooks at rear into slots. Lower
and lock into position. Some models have Spillsafe glass shelves which catch and
hold accidental spills.
Door Storage
Door bins and shelves provide convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans. Items used
often are available for quick selection.
The door bins can be moved to suit individual needs. Remove bins by lifting straight
up. Place bins in the desired position and lower over the supports.
The Dairy Compartment(s) is warmer than the general food storage section and is
intended for short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.
Tall Bottle Retainer (some models)
The Tall Bottle Retainer keeps tall containers in the bin from falling forward when
opening or closing the refrigerator door. To install, hold the retainer at the top, and
slide it over the outside wall of the bin, as shown. Note that the retainer works best
with the use of a bin snugger.
Micro-Serve Dishes
Food can be stored, cooked*, and served in Micro-Serve Dishes provided in some
models. These dishes slide easily into their own tray, which hangs below a door bin,
conveniently freeing shelf space for other items.
* Remove plastic lid before cooking. Lid is intended for storage only.
Crispers
The Crispers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing
fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clear water and remove
excess water before placing in the Crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture
should be wrapped before storing.
The Humidity Controls allow you to adjust the humidity within the Crisper. This can
extend the life of fresh vegetables which keep best in high humidity. Leafy vegetables,
however, keep best when stored with the Humidity Control set on high moisture, or
in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum and
maintains maximum moisture content.
Meat Keeper
(some models)
The temperature in the Meat Keeper drawer can be made colder than the rest of the
refrigerator compartment by adjusting the Chilled Air Control. Meat will be partially
frozen and may be kept fresh longer than if stored on a refrigerator shelf.
Before placing items in the Meat Keeper, follow these steps to keep the meat fresh:
1 . Carefully handle meat with clean hands and always keep the compartment
c l e a n .
2 . Store meat in its original wrapper. If necessary, overwrap in plastic wrap or foil
to prevent drying. Wrap fish tightly to prevent odor transfer to other foods.
3 . If spoilage ever occurs, disinfect the compartment with liquid chlorine bleach
following label directions. Then, rinse with a solution of baking soda and water.
Rinse with clear water and dry.
Adjustable Chilled Air Duct
The Chilled Air Duct, which distributes cold air to the Meat Keeper drawer, can be
adjusted to accommodate repositioning of the shelf. However, the shelf has a limited
range of positions in which the Chilled Air Duct will reach. The shelf is shipped in the
highest position and must be lowered to reach the Chilled Air Duct.
